In Hawkes Bay, Hōhepa is an organisation which offers supported housing, education and employment to people with intellectual disabilities.
The home and associated farm has been open for decades, but their focus only shifted to improving their cheese production in 2012.
They've since taken home several national awards for their Hohepa Vintage and Danbo cheeses.
Most recently they won the sustainability trophy at the Outstanding Food Producers awards for their social and environmental impact.
